Personally, I see 21 as a lot more likely than 6 IMO.
Yeah, I don't think either of them are happening. I think 21 would have been done already if they were going to, especially with everyone they have coming up. He's been gone 10 years now. Crazy
Took the Yankees 15 years to retire Guidry's number.
That's true. All I know is that 51 and 20 need to get done ASAP.
No more Kim Jones. Is it weird to say, I'm a little disappointed. I thought she did a good job. Although I assume this means more Jack Curry, which is always a good thing.
That sucks. I liked her reporting during the games and after the games, especially after Jeter's 3,000th hit.
Yeah, I wasn't a fan when she first started but thought she has done really well the last few years.
Never thought I would say this. Very classy of Varitek
Via the Yankees, here's a comment from Jason Varitek:
"After hundreds of head-to-head games during the regular season and the postseason, I can't say I respect and admire anyone at our position more than I do Jorge. The hard work and preparation he put into catching is a huge reason he has five championships on his resume. He is a true grinder."
Those two are home grown Yankees though. I think that means something. I think 46 will get it before 21.
Why am I blanking on who wore 46?
Rhymes with Smandy Lettit.
Thank you!

Jonathan Mayo released his top 100 prospects. Matt Moore came in ahead of Harper for the top spot. Montero actually is down to 12 this year and Banuelos is only one spot behind him at 13. Betances came in at 41, Gary Sanchez 53, Mason Williams at 73. No real suprises.

Yankees signed Jim Hendry as an assistant to Cashman :?
Well you can't expect someone as important as Cashman to get his own coffee.
And Hendry had to do something well to get to the job he had, even if he was a horrible GM. Kind of like them having Towers a couple years ago, although Kevin Towers was much better.
Yeah, Kevin Towers went and got himself another GM job after working for Cashman. I believe he's with Arizona now, so he's doing pretty well for himself right now. Hendry's probably hoping for the same fate but I don't know if Cashman will be able to help someone dumb enough to give out the contracts Hendry gave out. Cashman's best chance at making Hendry into a good GM candidate is to convince him to pull a Costanza and always do the opposite of his instincts.

Yankes announced they hired him as a special assignment scout. I can live with that. Horrible at contracts for sure, but obviously has to know a thing or two about baseball to have gotten where he did.
Interesting thought on the Eppler promotion. Being set up to take over for Cashman in 3 years. The idea is that Cashman would be promoted to President or something.
Right now, I'm not in baseball mode. Still in football mode. Probably by opening day I'll be in baseball mode.

I still hope they go with Damon or Matsui over Ibanez. Ibanez is too old and was abysmal when he wasn't playing in the Phillies' homer-friendly park (.210 avg., .261 OBP, .317 SLG with 52.4 AB/HR on the road). I know that Yankee Stadium is a good place for a left-handed hitter with some power, but what good is a guy who can only hit at home and can only hit righties (.211 avg, .232 OBP, .353 SLG against lefties)? Damon can actually hit lefties (he hit .277 against them last year as opposed to .255 against righties and has just a 5-point drop against lefties compared to righties for his career). Ibanez is basically Posada without any of the years of good will with the fans, so there won't be anywhere near the same level of forgiveness from the fans if he struggles. If they're going to sign an aging veteran to a 1-year deal, at least make it one of the 2 guys who have played there before instead of a guy who could be a downgrade from Posada and will be booed relentlessly if he plays the way he did last year. I'll say this much: if George was still alive and in charge, Damon would have already had his introductory press conference.

Jon Heyman reports that the Yankees signed Russell Branyan to a minor-league deal. It's a relatively harmless signing unless they wind up deciding to give him a shot at DH instead of signing Damon or Matsui. I highly doubt he'll actually make the team.

Yeah, she sucks. Hopefully they don't let her out of the studio. I assume Jack Curry will take a bigger role. He knows his shit.

Donohue obviously promoted to replace Monahan
